Test knife and present for a customer.

The weather here is dire, Cold winds and rain for weeks on end signalling the start of british summer, or descrnt into winter its hard to tell.
Anyway i thought some knifey stuff would cheer me up.
This funny little knife was a test piece from some test laminate offcut in my simple damascus and 01. Its a tiny chef knife really 125mm blade, 47mm deep, lots of taper very thin at tip and very convex at the heel. I've really enjoyed using it and found it most versatile for a small knife. Its robust enough to deal with chicken yet cuts onion etc with little resistance. So i thought i had better give it to a very nice cudtomer who has waited quite a while for some railings. He has allowed me to get distrscted with knifey stuff along the way so a fitting gift should be a knife.
The wood is an australian wood from Mark. It suprised me as it didnt really show much at all until i buffed it. Its really come up nice.
Thanks all
Will

Lol thanks Guys, I wouldn't hesitate to use it for Deba duty, that 01 is tough old stuff. The railings, not very interesting i'm afraid. I only took it on because it is an insurance claim and I didn't mind charging them "full wack" for the work. Payed the rent for a while. If it ever stops raining I might get them fitted too. In truth I'm just dying to focus on knives for a bit, maybe some nice arty jobs if they come along.
